Why Are They So Bold These Corporate and Organized Crime Puppets

[T Monk]

The open criminality, the mass killings, the peripheral killings, the illegal and tragic prosecutions, and a future with more and even more of it. They seem confident they can do it and get away with it beyond the next administration.

1. Ever hear of "huberis"?

This Administration has it in spades. The ancient Greeks liked to write plays about what happens when people act the way these bozos do. Doubt if any of them paid attention in high school English to heed the warnings given in those plays.

2. They actually believe in their entitlement to EVERYTHING...

and that they are above any law. It's pretty simple, actually.

3. "They" is us and happen to be correct. I grew up w/inflexible laws and

they suck. So, I cope w/the corporate world the way I did w/my physics classics ... learn the rules and apply them for the maximum benefit and least cost.

I'll leave laws to nature and they suck too - nothing can justify predation, but life doesn't have to. Neither does the corporate beast. It is, after all, civilization's creation. And I, despite all accusations to the contrary, live a civilized life and accept the moral consequences for my personal behavior.

Beyond that, I find these words comforting in a secular world:

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

4. "They" is us...

I have to disagree. BFEE <> DU.

6. because the dem leadership is either being blackmailed

to roll over for them on command or is part of the same cabal.
